Hi Komal
This is Pramila -- height: 5.4; weight: 58kgs, age: 36 years.
I am a working woman and sit for around 7-8 hours daily.
I am in sound health but I have a fat belly and fat thighs.
I do all the household chores.
I do a 10 minute brisk walk while going to office rather hiring an auto.
Sometimes, I run to catch a train also. Still, my belly fat is not reducing.
I am a pure vegetarian. I eat fresh cooked food, all type of vegetable, fruits and nuts. But daily I eat different biscuits.
I visited a doctor for pigmentation marks on my face. The doctor said I have nutrition issues.
Please help.
Thank you so much.
Pramila Nayak

Ans:

Fitness is attained with nutrition and exercise.

Doing regular household chores and short walks unfortunately does not contribute to fat burning.

Body fat can be shed by strength and endurance training wherein muscle build up and fat loss is the target.

Cardio activities are essential as well along with this.

Immobility for long periods does cause fat deposition in the most vulnerable areas of our body like belly and hips, where women have a high fat percentage.

Biscuits are generally made of refined flour and processed fat which contribute unhealthy and harmful transfats to our body. The high carbohydrate and sodium content will increase the risk of lifestyle disorders

So follow a healthy lifestyle devoid of excess carbs and fat, plus align yourself towards a fitness goal.

Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
